THE ORDINANCE OF 1707.
PAPER DT MU. W. V. POOLE.
The paper read before the Chicago I .Horary Club last
evening wse by Mr. William F, Poole. Librarian of the
Public Library, on “ The Origin and Secret History of
tho Ordinance of 1787." It was one of unusual his
torical interest, and tho waterlala on which it w»*
based were largely original and unpublished docu
ments. As the paper is to be used hereafter, wo can
give only & brief abstract of tho points discussed.
No topic In the whole range of our national history
bos been more obscure, or tho subject of more con
flicting statements than (ho origin amt authorship of
this celebrated ordinance, which fixed forever tho
euclal, political, and educational institutions of these
Northwestern States. "We are accustomed, ’’ said Mr.
Webster, lu his speech In answer to Hayue, 11 to praise
tho lawgivers of antiquity ; wo help to perpetuate the
Lime of Helen and Lycurgus; but I doubt whether ouo
single law, of any lawgiver, ancient or modern, has
produced effects of moro distinct, marked, and luting
character than tho Ordinance of 1787." Mr. Webster
asserted that Nathan Dane, of Massachusetts, was its
author. Oov. Coles, of Illinois, tu » paper before Ihe
Pennsylvania Historical Boclcty In 1930. claimed
that honor for Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Charles King,
of Now York, has asserted that bis father,
Uufiifl King, was tho author of tbo antl
slavory provision which kept slavery out
of tho Northwestern States. Mr. Poole gave a sketch
of tho several plans for tho government of the North
western Territory which were before Congress from
1784 to 1787, from which it appeared that the real or
dinance, which passed July Pi, 17h7, was wholly un-
Uko any of tho former plans, and was, in tho brief
space of four successive days, drafted, put through Us
several reading*, and enacted by tho imanlmuiih vote
of all the States present. Ho inquires how this sud
den action was brought, about, ami what was tho cause
nf it.. If Mr. Dane was it* author, how did he get so
much light nu the aubject so suddenly?
Mr. Danu was on a committee to draft
en ordinance, which wsa reported early hi May. and
took its surood reading on tho tith of May. Its third
reading was aetlgued for ths nest day. May 10, it was
called up byMsts.ichuaetto, and final action was post
poned. It camo down to the oth of July la the s.vmi
condition. Mr. Peter Force, of Washington, found
till* draft, and printed It. It had no resemblance to
the ordinance which passed July 13. It had nu anti
slavery clausa or "articles of compact." homo Influ
ence must bare Iwen brought to hear upon Congress
dining tbs early day* of July which changed it* whole
action.
Mr, Poole baa ascertained what that Influence was.
and, from unpublished documents which lie
quotes, gives an account of what occurred
during the few days In July whilo this
action wae transpiring lu Congress. Ou tbe slh of
July, Dr. Mauuseh Cutler, of Massachusetts, arrived
in New York, when Congress wae in session, and pro*
po*eil to buy 1,700,000 acres of land In the Northwest
Territory for thu Ohio Company. He bought the laud,
and 4,00 C.OOO or 5,L00,( 00 acres besides fur other par*
ties; and tho nest April the lint English sot*
Cement of the Territory was mndo by the Ohio Com*
pauy at Marietta. Tlio members of tho Ohio Company
were late officers of the Revolutionary army, montly re*
Hiding In tho eastern part of Massachusetts. Ono of
the conditions of thu purchaso waa that Congress
should enact such laws mi would be eatlsfactory to tho
Cartles who proposed to purchase. Dr. Cutter bud
eeu educated in tho three learned professions
of law, medicine, and divinity, and was a
person of largo sdentlflo attainments and
great personal accomplishments. Mr. Poole baa
the private Journal which Or. Outlet kept during this
period, which tells why, how, and by whom this sttd*
ocn action of Congress woo inspired. Tnu Committee
appointed July 0 were persons who were probably sug
gested by himself fur tlio purpose, He gave them in
writing what bo desired tho ordinance to bo. Tho
ordinance is mainly au.ahstract of the Maasachusctt*
Constitution of 17d0. Tho Ohio purchase, ou the pas
sage of the ordinance of 1787, wore parts of ouo and
tho same transaction. They were before Congress at
the same time. Col. Carrington, of Virginia, was thu
Chairman of tho Committee which carried through
both measures; and Dr. Manasscb Cutler was (ho
person who fumi.'hed tho occasion, thu motive power,
and the ideas which arc embodied in both instruments.
LOCAL LETTERS!
ratbAv’n election.
Ib O.t IMor n/ Thr ChleatoTrllun*:
CntoAtto, April 19.—1 have been informed that my
name has bccu placed on the Campaign Committee
appointed in connection with tho special election to bo
Lchi outlie SJd Inst., at which rime it 1s proposed to
vote 4 'for" and “against” (be adoption of the gen
eral art of incorporation of cities passed In 1872. I
regret to elate that business engagements compel my
absence from thu city the entire week, and houcu 1 can
do but litlffln person. At tho earnest solicitation of a
few of my personal friends, 1 hand you a brief state
ment of my views upon tho subject:
The course pursued by Tun Tmnu.va in regard to
(he recent act, commonly collect tho Citizens' Associa
tion bill, has my hearty approval. Tho result of tho
vol« Friday *wlll lu a great measure determine the fate
of the act of 1873. While I feci confident the act of
1872 will be defeated, tbe vote may be light, and hence
construed to mean that tho people are satisfied with
our present organization. This 1 think Is a mistake,
lam satisfied that a majority of (ho tax-ps)ers are
anxious fora change, and, Injray humble opinion, the
act of 1375 is as good as anything we cun nut under
nnrpresunt Con-dilution, Thun vote down the act of
I<7X with a decided vote, and it will secure tbe adop
tion eventually of the act of 1875.
It is uu acknowledged fad that our State and United
States organizations have proved a success for nearly
a century, and could not bo made more perfect. It is
also a well-known fact that the act of 1875, for the gov
ernment or organization of cities in (hie HLate, makes
similar provisions to those which legulale our National
und huts Governments, Now, if our National and
Btate organizations are satisfactory, and work well,
there can be no reason why su act containing almost
tho saino Identical provisions for the government of
cities should not produce tho same results.
The act of 1872 makes but few, if ouy, changes of
Importance as compared with our present organiza
tion, and, If adopted, would leave us in about the
same condition we now find ourselves, while the act
of IH7smakesaDUml>cr of decidedly radical changes,
aud which I am satisfied will soon produce beneficial
results If it Is adopted. 1 trust, therefore, (hat the
voters will turnout cn masse and cost a decided and
overwhelming vote againnl the act of Vt‘2, with tbe
view of adopting that of 1875 at no distant day.
TiicrvdoubtU'bs are some objections to the act of
1875, bm I have neither time nor inclination ot proa
eut to investigate them. One fact is patent, our pres
ent city organization U not what It should be, and the
set of 1872, 1 repeat, will not Improve our condition.
I’crmlt mo, in conclusion, to stale that the subject of
our city organization end government is not now to
me. tiume five years ago, while 1 had the honor of be
lug a member of tbe Common Council, I submitted a
Hmslllou to the Council looking forward to a rear
ration of our City Government, but many older
and more Influential members differed with me, and
hence no action was taken upon the matter. But lam
happy to find that quite a number of those then on
|*osed loachango are now cordially advocating it. My
advice to all voters is, turn out Friday and do your
duty, If you dtsirethe welfare and prosperity of this
great city. Very respectfully, I’ninu Diuut.
DELICATE HUMOR.
To Ihi Killlnr nf V,* CM'iwo Tribunt :
Omoaoo, April 19.—Tlio Sunday Issue of tbe Chicago
Twin contains what purports to bo a brief account of
an accident which occurred on tbo Chicago tt North*
western Railroad track, near Western avenue, Saturday
morning last, Thereby Mr. W. 11. Deo, au employe of
that Company, met instant death. It la as follower
“ There were several people who wont from Chicago
yeitcrduy to the horcafter in a burry. A Chicago man
docs tuts busluearilke he does everything else, In a
hurry. There was William H. Dee, who concluded
that ho would board a train while it was in full speed.
Selecting one on tbe QMous Division of the North
western Hallway. at 6 o’clock, he tried the feat and
failed. The engine came in contact with him and ho
had to back down. It paid no attention to his feeble
cllort. but liaised over bis body and cut it la twain,
lie did not live to spuak to tbe conductor.”
As a delicious tsoreel of humor the above can be
thoroughly appreciated only by these who witnessed
the occurrence. With the public at Urge there may
Ito a question no to what feature there was In the acd
dent calculated to provoke mirth. Let us see: Here
was a man 60 years of ago who from oouqaratlvo
wealth bad been reduced to the necessity of dally labor
fur tbo support of a Urge and entirely do|ioudeut
family. It was while on bit way to the ottlce where be
had been employed that he was run down by an engine
and his body completely severed. Tbero was no
fault upon tbo part of the lUllroad Company,
and none upon bU part, such as would
bo Inferred from tbo paragraph in question, which, by
the way, Is Inaccurate as a newsdlcm. A momentary
absence of mind is tho only explanation. With au ad*
mlrableand delicate spirit of humor that shows Us
merry influence lu a succeeding item,—wherein It Is re
lated bow a man's skull was crushed hy falling brick,—
tbo 'l'imt*. instead of observing that rather old, but
nut altogether obsolete, custom of treating the grief of
a stricken family aa something sacred, brings out tho
telling point of the affair lu an irresistible manner.
To one capable of appreciating a good thing it must
boasourcuof regret that the fooler the i'tnwa staif,
with his cap and bulls, had not been scut to tbe
broken home when tho mutilated remains of tbe hus
band and father weru taken there, preceded by only »
few moments warning, to those who had an hour bo
foru bode him good-by. We can guess what funny
things would have come of that scene, when
so much Is made of what seemed to those
who knew and respected tho quiet old man,
and were involuntary witnesses of ' bla death,
as really quite a solemn and terrible affair. Mot one
of them thought at the Umo how absurdly comical U

tion had with O. W. McMullen when arllliig him Ids
jMtilcy In the State Insurance Company, Ho nude two
distinct points in a three hours* speech, and the
presentation of a long list of authorities.
Ilia first reason for (he admission of
the evidence was that it would show that
McMullen was engaged In accomplishing the
same object in the purchase, and employed the same
means, ta Van luwngen ami the other defendants,
representing that he was acting as the agent of the
Company In settling tts losses, and that It could only
pay 10 cents on the dollar; Uut rsilly ho was not
representing the Company, hut ouo of the defendants,
J. Brsdner Hmlth, which would establish the "con
spiracy ” alleged, Second, trio evidence ought to ho
admitted, because it would lead to an rxjHtsme of the
fraudulent Intent of the defrudinla in the purchase or
proe trlng of the policy of Lord. Hmlth At Co.
Messrs, Herrick and Valletta closed the argument
for the defendants in labored cffotls, reviewing the

The Court decided to admit the testimony condi

points Involved, 110 sold If the evidence connected
McMullen with the other dcfsmbinls In like transac

The counsel for the plaintiffs wtro elated at the de

Incorporation Actor 1572,
THE TWENTIETH WARD.
A meeting of tho voters of thu Twentieth Ward for
the purpose of forming a ward club, wua held yester
day evening at the North Sblo Turner Hall, near the
corner of’ North (Jllark street and Chicago avenue.
There were about seventy gentlemen present. The
chair was taken by the lion. 11. F, Waite, and Mr.
0. It. Corbin was appointed Secretary of Ilia meeting.
Mr. White, on behalf of the Committee appointed at
the previous meeting to confer with tho Common
Council as to tho appointment of Judges of election
and to take measures for tho forming of a ward club
for the protection of the Intereets'of tho ward voters,
reported that before they had time to wait upon tho
Common Council and advocate tho appointment of
men of unquestionable integrity as such Judge.) tho
names of three appointees were published. Under tho
clrcumetsnces the Committee deemed it boat not to
question the appointments, and agreed to content
themselves simply with tho appointment of chal
lengers who should attend at tho polling-places*
and sco (hat the Interests of voters are protected. Tho
Council bad selected only one polling-place In each
word, nnd that which had been cboscu lu the Twen
tieth Ward was considered highly oblcctiouable. The
Committee bad therefore prepared the following re
monstrance to be submitted to the Council:
As a Committee appointed by a maae-mcellng of
legal voters of the Twentieth Ward, we respectfully
request that the voting place of the ward, fur the aj>~
presetting election, bo changed from tho northwest
corner of Michigan and Dearuorn streets to tho north
west corner of Michigan and Clark streets. Oifb rea
sons for the request are. on the one band, that (ho
first-mentioned locality ta very 1.1, adapted to the pur
pose proposed ; especially as there Is hut one voting
place for the entire ward. As uow assigned, (be voting
place is on the north side of (iio bntldlng, at s small
window some 0 feet from the ground, and requiring
for Us approach a temporary platform or gangway.
That fact constitutes a sufficient objection. But the
outside surroundings oro abo objectionable, consist
ing, as they do, of tiro debris covering tho ground on
which the voters must gather, and of noisome refuse
Immediately adjacent. On the other hand, the north
west corner of Michigan and Clark streets, the place
which ue hereby offer froo of expense (o the city, Is a
vacant store with glass fronts, sud affording every
possible facility. The adjoining sidewalks ara broad
and clear; the location la especially convenient lo the
resilient* of the ward, and the surrounding'! are unob
jectionable. For these reasons, and In tuo name of
the hundreds of legal voters whom wo represent, we
request that the change ho made. Respacliully,
